Features: 100% wool with pure vegetable dyes Handmade by Turkoman tribes in northern Afghanistan Knot count of 180 Pile-less, flat-weave design known as slit-weave Color palette includes gold, green, brown, rust, blue, beige, and pink Story Behind the Art: Master weavers in the Northern part of Afghanistan have created the beautiful pattern of this rug by interweaving the various colors of the vertical and horizontal strands of the kilim. It can be used as a wall hanging or floor covering. Due to the handmade nature of our kilims, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
